more on the fiscal cliff negotiations. i am joined by congressman peter king from new york who is involved. congressman, great to have you here. >> great to be here. >> happy holidays. >> happy birthday. >> have i to ask you, what are you doing home when we are approaching the fiscal cliff? >> probably not. once the deal broke on thursday night, the president and the speaker and the majority leader and the senate thought it was best to step back and now try to work out an arrangement. i have no problem being there. >> were you in support the plan b? >> i was. it was not a perfect plan, but considering the alternative, basically what john boehner was saying was no taxes would raise on anyone who had under $1 million. he was setting a million dollar threshold. the president was 250 or 400,000. i thought john boehner's hand was better and would strengthen in the negotiations. i think too many people in the conference were afraid would be seen as voting to increase taxes, but for not voting on the tax on over there for over a

let's talk about the fiscal cliff. are we going to get a deal here? >> we're going to get a small deal. that's what the senate will do. it's a shame. you wonder is the only thing that could change things, the holidays, does it change boehner's mind? does it change the president's mind? think politically the president is making a mistake to go for a small deal. he'll lose leverage. he should try one more time for the big deal. you had nearly 200 house republicans about to vote to raise taxes on millionaires. that means could you get it up from 400 to 750? a deal is within reach. he's got to figure out -- i think go one more time. they seem to have had it, and they don't want to try boehner one more time but i think they're making a big mistake. >> congressman, speaker boehner will face a big revolt if he puts down a bill that requires democrats to get it passed, there will be a revolt, will there? >> my frustration is with the democrats because the house republicans, our conscience is clear. in august we dealt with the fiscal cliff issue. we have passe

some of they will said that the fiscal cliff is sort of on their minds. but they're taking it in stride today. a lot of people have a very relaxed atmosphere to be in. but tomorrow could be a different story. of course that really last-minute rush and crush, mad dash to pick up those gifts on that christmas eve. many of the stores are trying to accommodate those last-minute shoppers, those procrastinators we're talking about, including, you know, just the last-minute few people like myself that's just wrapping up a few gifts or the people that are just getting started. macy's, toys 'r' us, and a couple other stores are staying open around the clock between now and christmas eve. so, alex, there's plenty of time. most of the people we talked to are in good spirits still. could turn ugly later, though. >> i'm just frightened. i should have e-mailed you my list. oh, well. michelle franzen, thank you so much. >>> straight ahead, a grave new report on north korea's potential to strike the u.s. mainland with a missile. how big a threat? general wesley clark joi
